Welcome to
Tyneside Disabilities

At Tyneside Disabilities, we are committed to empowering individuals and organisations through comprehensive disabilities training and support. Our professional development and intervention services are designed to foster an inclusive environment that caters to the specific needs of every participant.

Central to my personal and professional journey is, past students, participants and those who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Navigating the complexities of a person’s diagnoses has equipped me with a unique perspective and a wealth of experience in managing the intricacies of neurodiversity. Both varied and dynamic.
